Would fat grafting or zygoma reduction be more suitable for protruding cheekbones/uneven faceline?

[daysuntilpretty]

Hey girlies! I’ve had mandible reduction about 1 and a half year ago at MVP and posted my experience on this forum before. I’m happy with the results but since my lower face has slimmed down, I feel my cheekbones protrude a lot more. MVP still don’t suggest I do my cheek bones as they feel it’s not wide enough and won’t produce much drastic results, so I’m looking to maybe fat grafting to my cheeks and temples to soften up my face? Because I actually like my cheeks when I smile since it’s plump and more rounded, instead of sharp and pointy. Here’s a pic of me not smiling to show how protruded my cheekbones are
What do you girls suggest I do? Have you had any similar problems/experiences because I’d love to hear your suggestions and advice! Thank youuu

Hi @daysuntilpretty lovely v line! Okay so measure the width of your face. Mine is 14.5 cms (measure looking in a mirror) so in the 97th% for wide faces for Asians. If it is over 14.5 then yes see Dr Oh at Regen for a consult for zygoma reduction but that is 7-10 million. Dr Oh offered to reduce my width by 1 cm on each side but my friends said no and that it would make my face look too long. So measure the length too from the top of your head to the bottom of your chin and see if you already have the golden ratio of 1.6.

You would definitely improve with prp fat graft to round your forehead and fill your temples to create a smooth contour so your zygoma blends in and does not stand out. That is a lot cheaper at 2 million.

So get out your tape measure and work out your ratios first. Hope this helps.

Thank you sooooo much! Your reply was very informative. I love your posts and reviews on fat grafting! It’s made you look so young and youthful! You look so beautiful ;-;

Thanks so much! I’ll measure my zygoma because it’s really been an issue like I don’t know whether the rest of my face is just too small or my zygoma is just to wide!

@daysuntilpretty thank you for sharing your photos! Did you just do mandible and not the chin? I am also considering just a mandible reduction and yours came out so well!

My zygoma is 15cm and my head length is 24cm !
So I think I just have a huge head

I didn’t do chin! But I had chin fillers in my home country to make my chin more pointier and V shaped
I say if your chin is fine, leave it alone hehe

Aww @daysuntilpretty, that's how I felt after I did the ratio measurements. And thought hm do I have to crush my skull somehow? But I already did chin reduction to reduce the length and Dr Seo refused me zygoma reduction so I now use hair styled towards my face to cover my zygomas. The only surgeon who would offer me zygoma reduction was Dr Oh at Regen. If you are going to Korea anyway, you could drop in and have a free consult with him. In my opinion, he is the best for zygoma reduction as it is his specialty and he does so many with a passion. He was the only surgeon to show me lots of before and afters on his computer. But that said, as your ratio is fine, fat grafting is the way forward for you.

Thank you soo much! I feel a lot better. Will definitely look into fat grafting! I love that cute puffy look Koreans go for and also am really motivated by yours and other forumers’ beautiful results!
When I go to Korea I’ll definitely check into what Dr Oh and other clinics think! But I hear Dr Oh is VERY famous and in demand for facial bone surgery.
